better than advertised!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.it has every feature you want and features you didnt know you needed. It seemlessly transformed my 2003 truck into a modern masterpiece. The apple car play and android car play work great. the sound plugged right into my bose system and is clear and just as powerfull. Highly recommended!

Great Choice!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the apple car play. Can't live without it now. Lots of good features on this receiver. I am really happy I went with the wireless version. It has made my life very easy. I am glad I purchased the adapter to run SXM through the Media Receiver rather than apple car play. A couple times I had phone issues, but I could still use the radio. Very happy with my purchase

Very happy with this head unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with the head unit. I occasionally have problems connecting, but i think that is due to the number of bluetooth devices that I have connected to my phone, not the head unit itself. The sound quality is incredible, it really brought the stock Toyota speakers to life in my 2010 Toyota Venza. The touch screen is very responsive, and the backup camera that I had installed looks great on its screen. Would definitely recommend.

Android auto wireless!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wireless Android auto is the best. A couple moments after the radio comes online, the maps automatically load. The interface with satellite radio / Sirius XM is great. After the much needed firmware update you are able to fast-forward rewind and pause live satellite, just like you would any other DVR. The sound isn't as good as the previous model XAVAX3250, but should do well enough for most people. The box advertises screen mirroring capabilities but I never found it. I would buy this unit again just for the wireless Android Auto capabilities. Also works with Apple Play.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dropped this into a 2018 HRV. BB tech install was good (2 hrs), and since it’s been installed, there are no issues. Works seamlessly with steering wheel controls and actually makes them stick speakers sound great! Sony makes a good product and CarPlay works perfectly with our phones.

Great receiver - connects perfectly
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this on installer's recommendation. He said Sony was on top of current technology and connectivity and he was right. The ease of connecting with CarPlay and use of voice commands is excellent. It connects instantly with whomever uses the car (and of course has previously connected.

Good unit on sale - despite the resistive screen
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was initially hesitant as it has a resistive screen and not capacitive, however, I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the screen. However, a couple of things that are of bother at this time, but should only take some getting used to/are limits of Android Auto, is you can't customize the screen for a default layout in Android Auto and if you so much as step out of the vehicle a few steps with your phone it breaks the connection. I wisht the middle button was more customizable past "Source" or "Mute".
